[She really is too kind, isn't she... no wonder everyone in swordhaus is so fond of her. Namazuo included; he smiles a little, and takes her hand with his good one, grateful for the contact. He hadn't realized how much he'd miss it.]
Thank you... but I would like to be stronger.
[Most of the time, Namazuo is very realistic about his own strengths and weaknesses. He's happy as a wakizashi--he isn't as strong as the uchis or tachis, but he's strong enough to protect his little brothers, and fast enough to step in and catch any sneaky, speedy enemies. But now he can't help wondering. If he'd been stronger, would he have survived? If he'd been stronger, would he have been able to keep his promises?]
